Music reading. Level 2. Introduction
En este nivel se introducen progresivamente ritmos más complejos, alternando
métricas de subdivisión binaria y
métricas de subdivisión ternaria.
In Level 1 the basic concepts where introduced:
- Note values of semibreve, minim, crotchet, quaver and semiquaver, and their equivalent
rests (candidates may use the terms ‘whole note’, ‘half note’, etc.).
- Tied notes.
- Single-dotted notes and rests.
- Simple time signatures of 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 , bar-lines and the grouping of the notes
listed above within these times.
- The stave. Treble (G) and bass (F) clefs. Names of notes on the stave,
including middle C in both clefs.
- Sharp, flat and natural signs, and their cancellation.
- Key signatures of the major keys of C, G, D and F in both clefs.
- Compound time signatures of 6/8
In level2 we continue with all concepts introduced in Level 1, with the addition of:
- Simple time signatures of 2/8 and 3/8.
- Triplets, and triplet note groups with rests.
- Extension of the stave in treble (G) and bass (F) clefs to include two ledger
lines below and above each stave.
- key signatures of the major keys of A, Bb and
Eb, and the minor keys of A, E and D.
- Compound time signatures of 9/8, 12/8 and the grouping of notes and rests
within these times.
- The soprano clef (C on 1st line). Names of notes on the stave.
- The demisemiquaver (32nd note) and its equivalent rest.
- key signatures of all major and minor keys up to and including four sharps and flats.
- The Treble (C1) clef. Names of notes on the stave.
- Extension of the stave to include one ledger line above the stave.
Cada tema está estructurado en tres secciones:
- En la primera se muestran los nuevos patrones rítmicos que
se introducen en ese tema.
- En la segunda, opcional, se muestran diferencias o
similaridades con otros patrones y
se dan consejos para su mejor asimilación.
- Finalmente, en la tercera parte se invita al alumno a realizar
ejercicios de lectura medida, donde se practican los nuevos patrones
introducidos en el tema
